TSS 500M4

TELECOM SURGE GENERATOR

TSS 500M4 - COMPACT TELECOM SURGE GENERATOR WITH 10/700US TEST PULSE

Telecommunication networks are exposed to lightning events. Therefore telecommunications equipment being connected to
the outside world need to have appropriate protection to show an acceptable immunity to surge transients in order not to
fail in case of lightning events. Telecom Surge simulators of the TSS 500 series are used to proof the immunity of
telecommunications equipment.
The TSS 500M4 is used to perform tests as per IEC 61000-4-5 and related standards and complies with the requirements of
ITU-T and FCC 97-270 (part 68) for Surge B pulse.

BENEFITS

TSS 500M4 - 10/700US PULSE GENERATION AND
COUPLING NETWORKS IN ONE BOX

The TSS 500M4 is a compact tester to generate the
Telecom Surge pulses 10/700us and 9/720us as well as
the 1.2/50us Voltage Surge pulse.
The TSS 500M4 is not just the pulse generator but it
comes with the built-in coupling networks for 2-wire and
4-wire test applications. The outputs can directly be
connected to the Telecom ports of the DUT. For testing
Telecom lines EM TEST offers the appropriate coupling
networks for 4-wire or 8-wire lines.
Pre-programmed Standard Test routines allow highest
user convenience. Still the TSS 500M4 offers the Quick
Start test routine where parameters can be changed
on-line during the test to evaluate the susceptibility level
of an individual DUT.

SOFTWARE

IEC.CONTROL SOFTWARE FOR CONTROL AND
DOCUMENTATION

Outstanding user convenience, clearly structured
windows and operation features and the EM TEST
standards library along with the flexibility to generate
user specific test sequences very easily are the main
features of iec.control software. The software is
automatically configured according to the connected EM
TEST generators. Extensive reporting capabilities help the
user to create test reports that meet international
requirements.
iec.control is supported by Windows 95/98, Windows ME,
Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows
Vista. Remote control is achieved either via RS232 or
GPIB. iec.control supports a wide range of GPIB cards of
National Instruments.

OTHER MODELS

TELECOM WORLDWIDE WITH EM TEST

The TSS 500M series covers the wide range of Telecom
Surge requirements as per Bellcore GR-1089-Core, FCC
97-270 (part 68) and the various ITU-T recommendations
as well as the requirements of many EN/IEC standards
and some national Telecom Standards. For the complete
overview please select "More Info".

OPERATION

EASY TO OPERATE

Front panel menu and function keys enable the user to
program his test routines quickly and accurately. The
cursor allows fast control of all test parameters of the
programmed routine, thus test procedures are simplified
and confidence is generated that every step is carried out
correctly.

AUXILIARY DEVICES

CNV 504/508 - COUPLING NETWORKS FOR SURGE TESTS
ON TELECOM LINES

The coupling networks CNV 504S1 and CNV 508S1 are
designed as per IEC 61000-4-5 for Surge tests on Telecom
lines. Two different models are available for 4-wire and
8-wire applications. The decoupling network consists of
pairwise current-compensated inductors. The coupling of
the Surge pulses is achieved via gas arrestors as
recommended by IEC 61000-4-5.
